Just found an old notebook from before I started my OU studies, and in it were my plans for my open degree.
2008/2009 - MST121 and MS221
2010 - M208
2011 - MST209
2012 - DD202
2013 - M337 and SM358
2014 - M338 and S357
So what happened to all that? If I'd stuck to that plan I'd have done a 60 point economics course last year and would now be starting complex analysis and quantum mechanics. Next year would have to have changed as M338 is no more, like S357.
It started off right, but I found the workload in the first year so light that I did 208 and 209 together, advancing things by a year. I then decided that I'd just do maths, as they dropped the old relativity course and I wasn't that interested in economics anyway. I have the DD202 course books (£10 from eBay) and may read them one day. I still plan to learn quantum mechanics and relativity one day, probably once I've got the MSc.
